What's the relation between weight and health?
Trick question: there isn't one.

"[H]ealth issues that get blamed on being higher-weight may actually be due to weight stigma and/or weight cycling and/or healthcare inequalities" or other "health issues might be impacting weight."

Ragen Chastain's Weight and Healthcare Substack is excellent. The posts are always informative, clear, thoughtful, short, valuable. If you are under the mistaken impression that weight correlates with health, you can begin to unlearn that prevalent misconception. If you already know that there's no relation between health and weight, you can still learn a lot about the details of GLP-1 antagonists and how they are prescribed, the bias that fat people encounter in health care settings, the actual research on weight and health. I really appreciate how consistently Chastain pursues these questions. Worth a follow, if you do the substack thing.

I'm looking for a popular science article from a fat-friendly writer about the rise in #obesity and how diets are lies, which mentions how lab animals have also been increasing in weight since the 60s... I've lost track of the url

I'd like to send it along with this article to people who pride themselves on "doing their own research" so they can come to some brilliant conclusions all on their own

I really liked illymation’s newest video as an introduction to body neutrality and some health-at-every-size principles. She referenced one of my favorite podcasts too, Maintenance Phase.

Yo mama so fat, she is far more likely to be misdiagnosed by a doctor due to weight stigma in the medical industry.

Y'know those things we beat ourselves about concerning body image? Every body on a bike is free. http://bikestylespokane.com/2011/07/31/feeling-good-biking-and-self-image/ #cycling #BikeTooter #WomenBike #AllBodiesOnBikes #JustRide #BikeJoy #FatPhobia #BodyImage #fat #HAES

You can eat all the calorie free, sugar free, fat free, guilt free food and what you'll eventually figure out is what's not free is you. You're trapped in #dietculture and you're scared of peanut butter.

(By the way…if you’re allergic to PB you’re allowed to be scared of it, this isn't about that.)

Disclaimer: People will disagree with me, and those people are allowed to be wrong. Please note I do not engage with diet/health/fat trolls.

I’m 46yo and I just bought my first bikini. If not now, when? #HAES

It’s been quite some time since I’ve been size-shamed like I was today by the older “elegant” sales ladies at Talbots. Whew. #HAES #fashion

@YayForThat Ja, genau. Perfekte Diätkultur. Das schlimmste, was einem Menschen widerfahren kann, ist fett werden. 🤮#Fettphobie und #Fatshaming.
Wahrscheinlich hätte ein Mehrgewichtiger Schauspieler abgelehnt.

In person I'm a #recoveringacademic and #UnitarianUniversalist practicing #FeministTheory outside the corporate university.

For fun I bake, cook #vegetarian one-pot meals with whatever vegetable is in season, and sing in #choir.

Profile alt text:
Banner: a light pink with white text, rounded font with texture, reads "A WORLD WITHOUT TRANS PEOPLE HAS NEVER EXISTED AND IT NEVER WILL." The full image from @torracadh.bsky.social includes this text with white and light blue background in the trans flag.

Profile: Unitarian Universalist chalice symbol rendered with a watermelon as the vessel and with an olive branch as the wick and light. This is in bold greens and reds. In a circle around the top of this image reads in cursive "until all are free, none are free." And around the bottom in caps "VOTE YES-AIW."

Your fatphobia doesn't help anybody.

Digital illustration of a nonbinary person with brown skin and short purple hair. They are wearing a sheer cloud print shirt over a purple top, and purple drawstring shorts. They look relaxed, and are looking at the viewer. There's a text bubble that reads, ''fat' is not an insult.' Behind them is a sea of pink clouds

I see you there, about to step on the scale.
Stop for a minute and think about it.
What does the scale have to tell you this morning?
How will it affect how you see yourself? How will it affect the rest of the day?

Is it possible to avoid the scale, just for today? To listen to your body and make decisions that you know will feel good to your body and your spirit?

Can health exist without the scale?
It really can.

Good morning!

#Noom is a predatory diet using eating disorder language to hook victims.
Don’t do it.
Have questions about nutrition? Ask a dietitian!

Here is a beautiful picture to help start your Tuesday.
